Maia was woken up by the buzz of the door to her cell, she rubbed her eyes and looked to her left to watch as someone in a suit walked in with some guards next to him. She didn't move from her bed but watched as the man sighed and walked closer to Maia. "It's time for another round of questioning if you're up for it." Maia knew that the man was asking her if she felt up to it because of her panic attack. She thought about shaking her head to lie but she had a feeling that the man would see through the lie. "I am," Maia said carefully as she moved into a sitting position letting her back, rest against the concrete wall.

"Okay, good. Breakfast should be here soon and then when you're finished we'll get started." The man smiled at Maia before turning around and walking back out of the cell with the guards following him. She sighed before she took out the ponytail holder that was in her hair and started to put it in a loose braid, one of the things that S.H.I.E.L.D had given her was a hair tie something that Maia would've had to smuggle into HYDRA so she could get her hair out of her face.

She stayed in bed and her eyes drifted outside her cell watching as a guard started to push a cart around with her food along with other prisoners' food. Maia knew that she wasn't the only one being held here, she saw them as she was taken out of the cell for questioning but Maia wasn't allowed to talk to them and the same seemed to apply to them as well.

Maia winced as her ears rang from the sound as the hatch opened and her food was pushed through, once the other side was closed Maia was in silence. She sighed before standing up and walking towards the hatch before bringing the tray towards her bed. It was oatmeal, buttered toast, and apple juice. It wasn't anything fancy but it was butter than the slop that HYDRA was feeding her and the oatmeal was flavorful too.

She quickly ate the oatmeal using the toast to wipe up the excess that she couldn't get with the spoon they offered. Maia quickly finished drinking the apple juice before standing up and placing the tray back on the hatch. Maia watched as a guard opened the hatch from the other side and took the tray. She didn't know how long it was but she stared at her fingers as she waited for someone to come get her for the start of the questioning. Maia looked up when she heard the faint buzz of the door getting ready to start opening so She stood up from her bed but paused when a guard held out his hand while raising the gun he was holding. "Up by the wall." The guard with the gun instructed, Maia did what he asked and stood against the wall.

The guard aiming the gun at her nodded towards the guard beside him and he started to walk towards her with cuffs. Maia let out a breath and held her hands out in front of her watching as the guard clicked the cuffs around her wrists. The guard gripped her forearm before he roughly started to lead her outside of her cell.

Maia looked around, her head was swirling with all the voices that she could know to hear that were previously quieted from her cell. She closed her eyes as she told her feet to keep moving as she was pulled in the direction of the integration rooms. She heard a door open before she was pushed inside, she was roughly led into the room and forcefully pushed into the chair. The guard took her cuffs off and she tried to pull her left to rub them but it was grabbed, she was strapped to her chair but she was lucky because they left her right arm free.

Before he left the guard smirked at her and she was left alone. While she was alone she tugged on her left hand trying to see if she can free it because she was occupied she didn't realize the door opened, she vaguely heard it but she was concentrating on trying to get out she didn't notice what it was. "You won't be able to get out you know, they were made to keep anyone and everyone from escaping." An agent that Maia didn't recognize said sitting across from Maia. "Where is Agent Carter?" Maia's voice shook slightly as she asked the question carefully.

The man seemed surprised by her question but he put his hands on the table before leaning toward Maia slightly. "She's out, now it says here-" Maia didn't let him finish what he was saying because she cut him off. "Where is she? When will she be back?" The man squinted at her before leaning back and opening the file that he brought. "It says here that you told the other agent that you lied to HYDRA, what made you do that?" The man continued talking like Maia didn't say anything.

She squinted before she clicked her mouth shut, it showed the man that she wasn't talking. "Do you have any idea where Agent Dana Lewis is? We know that you worked with her along with Agents Ben Locke and Joseph Russell, they were your handlers." Maia was shocked, but she didn't let it show. She pushed her nail into her finger to keep herself from giving the agent a reaction. "You do know that Ben and Joseph are dead right? A shootout, we have the doctor though which is how we're getting all this information. Dr. Cobbs wasn't very loyal but he doesn't know where Agent Lewis is."

Maia rubbed her pants before looking at the Agent, she tilted her head at him before she finally opened her mouth. "I'm not telling you anything unless your name is Agent Carter." The agent regarded her for a moment before he nodded his head and scooted the chair back before standing up. He opened the door and closed it after he walked out of it, leaving Maia alone once again.
